Mr. Speaker, I want to fix this. I want to see it fixed, and I want to see everybody in labor feel that all those generational gains, all of that negotiation actually meant something. I think it is a shame when they look at, well, why isn't it functioning the way we were told it was functioning when we signed that contract? It wasn't their fault. It certainly wasn't the rest of America's taxpayers. Something failed, probably a lot more than one instance's worth. But today, we aren't fixing this. We are putting it across something that isn't going to get through the Senate, and we are giving people false hope, which I think is the worst thing we can do. Let's not make promises we can't keep. Chairman Neal, I would be glad to work with you any amount of time. However we have to do it to get this fixed, it has to get fixed.
